After a few dark mutterings, I have removed the shrub that bit the dust during the winter, but just what shall I plant there instead? There is now a huge space just waiting to be filled with new planties, woo hoo! I am now greenhouse-less, but I now have a “sun deck”, with loungers, parasol, planters and the barbeque, and a little mini greenhouse that is filling up nicely with seedlings!
Our next talk is on 4th May, 7.30pm, when we have Eunice Cooper coming to talk and give a demonstration about Shetland Sheepdogs, and this is at the Vale room, Blewbury Village Hall, I wont be taking Monty along, although technically he is a sheepdog, he is not from Shetland! Refreshments served too! Ring if you need a lift, 850219.
I give prior warning about our trip to Lime Kiln Gardens in Drayton on June 1st, this garden has a wonderful Iris display, if you haven’t booked yet, ring Eileen on 510095, £5 each. We will sort out lifts for those who need them beforehand!
The new Show Schedule will be ready for the May meeting and in Blewbury Post Office from then too, come and collect your copy, or download from www.uptonvillagenews/vpa The show is on August 6th, so plenty of time to plan your entries!
Happy Gardening
